Pile stuff on and around the box so rats feel happy & safe approaching it. I made a 5-sided box, and attached the top with a set of old cabinet hinges (any hinges would be fine, they're just there to allow access to the box). In the smallest pieces of wood, I cut entry holes for the rats. I used 1/2" plywood and joined everything together with wood glue and nails.Ģ plywood pieces 12" x 17" (top and bottom) 2 plywood pieces 17" x 6" (sides) 2 plywood pieces 11" x 6" (ends) It houses three traps with space for the rats to hide while checking out the bait. It's made of a few recycled plywood scraps. For my own peace of mind, I made a wooden enclosure to house armed traps. Be really, really careful to the point of paranoia about where you set up the trap.
That doesn't mean little Johnny or Fido should be taught a harsh life lesson by having a sticky paw crushed by the unforgiving steel jaws of a mechanical trap. Both kids and pets are effective distributors of tasty treats for rats, who are attracted to scattered food from all sources.
